Children born extremely prematurely are at high risk of developing learning difficulties by the time they reach the age of 11. http://www.physorg.com/news156016378.html Medicine & Health Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:54:05 EST news156016378 (PhysOrg.com) -- Research led by the University of Warwick has found a way to use doughnuts shaped by-products of quantum dots to slow and even freeze light, opening up a wide range of possibilities from reliable and effective light based computing to the possibility of "slow glass". http://www.physorg.com/news155830401.html Physics Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:14:21 EST news155830401 Researchers at the University of Warwick have found how a citric acid-based Achilles heel used by a pathogen that attacks the popular African Violet house plant could be exploited not just to save African Violets but also to provide a potentially effective treatment for Anthrax. http://www.physorg.com/news154681012.html Biology Tue, 24 Feb 2009 07:00:26 EST news154681012 (PhysOrg.com) -- Chemistry researchers at the University of Warwick have found that tiny nanoparticles could be twice as likely to stick to the interface of two non mixing liquids than previously believed. This opens up a range of new possibilities for the uses of nanoparticles in living cells, polymer composites, and high-tech foams, gels, and paints. The researchers are also working on ways of further artificially enhancing this new found sticking power. http://www.physorg.com/news154022744.html Nanotechnology Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:06:41 EST news154022744 A 2000-year-old painted statue is being restored to her original glory by scientists from WMG at the University of Warwick, the University of Southampton, and the Herculaneum Conservation Project. http://www.physorg.com/news150994645.html Technology Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:57:25 EST news150994645 Girls targeted by bullies at primary school are two and a half times more likely to remain victims than boys, according to research from the University of Warwick and University of Hertfordshire. http://www.physorg.com/news150976603.html Other Sciences Mon, 12 Jan 2009 09:56:43 EST news150976603 A research group lead by scientists at the University of Warwick has discovered the trigger that pulls together X chromosomes in female cells at a crucial stage of embryo development. Their discovery could also provide new insights into how other similar chromosomes spontaneously recognize each other and are bound together at key parts of analogous cell processes. This is an important mechanism as the binding togetgher of too many of too few of a particular chromosome can cause a number of medical conditions such as Down's Syndrome or Turner's Syndrome. http://www.physorg.com/news149572674.html Biology Sat, 27 Dec 2008 03:57:54 EST news149572674
